a parcel, thought to be seized 4 months ago by customs, has just turned up. no one was in so parcelforce have left it in a local post office to collect.
the parcel is from China to UK and contains a bulk order. my supplier has advised he had a parcel released and delivered after 2 months once but it still seems very sketchy.
if anyone has had a similar experience or can give any advice it would be much appreciated.

If you buy stuff from china on ebay you will know it commonly takes over a month.
The sellers often have charts giving the average times. Maybe a 10% chance that the parcel takes over 90 days or 3 months.

usually packages take 3-5 working days. tracking last read awaiting customs charging, it would normally clear customs withing 2 days.

Unlikely to be a customs trap, they wouldn't leave it at the post office, they would keep returning to your address until someone answered.

I was thinking surface mail. You must be using airmail or something faster then.
Anything non drug I have got from China has taken a minimum of 2 or 3 weeks. Often 5 or 6 weeks.
I find hongkong & japan to be slightly faster though.
Depends on what was in it and how much as to the risk you would be taking.
I would go and get it but make sure you are clean and un-bustable in every other way.

i thought that but the house has been lying empty for months so they may have been to the door several times for all i know.
maybe this could be a last attempt?
the parcel is 500g 4mmc.

pay an idiot $20 to pick it up for you, watch them from a distance.

They might need his ID docs though. (unless PO will accept a letter addressed to you that could have been stolen from your bin).
Can you not arrange a redelivery? Or just go and pick it up. Maybe the police would be called and the Post office try to stall you?
I don't know. But OMG a half kilo of drugs is a hell of allot of drugs man! Let's hope you pull this off you drugs baron! :)
